Palantir’s “manifesto” trends on X, showcasing its evil
The post makes explicit what Palantir wants: the supremacy of the US military industrial complex to infiltrate every aspect of our lives

Remember, managers: schedule a bit more time for meetings with women in them so there's enough time for a man to repeat her ideas back to the room and gain emphatic agreement. Another ten minutes per woman should do.
The entire document is a joke
I mostly hilight that one because it's the one that comes up in the most situations, like when MS advertising says things like "consider your finances with copilot in Edge"
another thing which irks me about the Cis People Taking Hormones columns is trans folk have long said "maybe a lot of folk would be happier with a slightly different hormonal setup to what their body produces"
Screenshot of the Microsoft Copilot terms of use stating Important Disclosures & Warnings. Hilighted text reads: Copilot is for entertainment purposes only. It can make mistakes, and it may not work as intended. Don’t rely on Copilot for important advice. Use Copilot at your own risk.
Yoooo
What are we calling a screen where you tab between inventory, map, mission log, character stats etc, which probably gets opened with the tab key or something like the triangle or select button on a gamepad rather than what I would call a pause menu with like save, load, settings, etc, on ESC/start?
Stay in the know, but remember to practice self care and touch grass and seek laughter and whatnot.
we've GOT to make this place an echo chamber for perverted transsexual maoists again
Ooh that's very good
Ok other designers, what are we calling the game within a game of optimizing a character build? Like if I have subgames like "combat" or "exploration" or "shopping" what do we call the bit where players are selecting skills, equipping gear, maybe preparing spells, etc?
From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.
One of the very best from Clickhole
Just as a reminder:
We've mostly developed three things in the twenty-first century: an app that erases labour, a digital wallet that evades taxes, and an algorithm that abuses your attention. But we've developed each of them over and over again.
I would love to see the MIT Essay Writing with and without LLMs study replicated but with software developers writing code.

I have in my mind a vague memory of a film or show or something where a character chooses guns/weapons from a kind of cabinet or built-in structure where there's a moving wall or rack and so they kind of scroll through all the guns/weapons? Can anyone remember what the fuck I'm thinking of?
hi, cis folks in NY state!
it's trans day of visibility. we need more than rhetoric—like access to healthcare for trans youth that NYC's biggest private hospitals cut off in defiance of state & city law under mamdani's watch.
there are simple actions in the thread below. please add your voice. ⬇️🏳️⚧️
But I have a cozy little apartment and a job I love and the most amazing friends and community.
It's scary as hell out there but I'm so incredibly thankful that I get to be this person with you all.
Happy #TDOV, y'all. ❤️
I'm in my late thirties which means I beat the "35 year life expectancy" number that used to get floated around back when I started. Obviously things haven't been easy, and that's with the massive privilege of being a middle class white girl.
It's #TransDayOfVisibility !
Hi. I'm Ash. I'm an Australian game designer living in Sweden. I recently celebrated 10 years since starting medical transition, so this picture is from that party with just some of the amazing people who love and support me that I'm so so thankful for.

Important reminder for Trans Day of Visibility.
Our enby friends deserve some attention today, too.
"Developers who fully delegated to AI produced working code but failed conceptual quizzes afterward. They couldn't debug what the AI had written for them. They had the output without the understanding."
Trans Day Of Visibility is on the 31st of March! It's all about normalizing and celebrating trans people and their lives. Trans folks often post a little about themselves and their lives on this day and resharing those posts is a nice way to be involved but as an ally, another great way to also help celebrate the day is to make your own post! If you have a trans person in your life you want to celebrate, post a nice picture of them, maybe a selfie together, and a story or something you love about them! (Get their consent first, don't out anyone who isn't public about being trans, it's a dangerous time to be trans. Either way material support goes a long way too so maybe buy them a pizza or something?) If there aren't any trans people in your life that are happy for you to share, post about a trans celebrity or historical figure that has inspired you! Share your posts with the tags #tdov and #transdayofvisibility and have a great TDOV!
Transgender Day Of Visibility is on the 31st
if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

Aging can sometimes feel really scary in a world where men register you about the same as a pencil case when they aren't attracted to you.
I actively follow older women I think are cool as fuck, who I'd want to be right now, not in 40 years, because they remind me I can be dope as fuck forever
The thing about being trans is that it's really, really fucking hard to just like live day to day in a world run by people who want to exterminate you
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
